<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>There is a pretty comprehensive collection of art works of Futuristic landscape in the Net.</strong></span></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211; Here is one of its Link &gt; <a href="http://artprofilesworld.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/digital-landscapes-3d-future-visions/#comments">  http://artprofilesworld.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/</a></p>

<p>As you can see in those images, they are the images of our current knowledge of the technological,</p>
<p>architectural images, when they are<strong> linearly scaled-up and pushed to the limit.</strong></p>
<p>Linearly pushed mean, the concept itself doesn&#8217;t have [unimaginable leap] though,</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not complaining their poor imagination.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>As you can see in those images, there is even a hint of</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong> [How these society, colony are surviving and sustained]   ? ? ?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">[]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Is there any system to harvest solar energy and synthesizing Carbohydrate and Protein </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>(in simple term Foods to eat) out of the air and the water ?</strong></span></p>
<p>Can you imagine, the time when the civilization had advanced to such extent = naturally, all</p>
<p>the harvestable natural resources had been excavated to the bottom = naturally, by excavating</p>
<p>such as rare-metal,<strong> toxic by-products had polluted the sea and all the fishes had long gone.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">[]</span></p>
<p>Even if 2/3rd of the Earth was covered by the water, they are non-portable (undrinkable) water.</p>
<p>With the heat of the Sun, evaporated water from the sea has to go somewhere = make the rainfall though,</p>
<p>it wouldn&#8217;t go to the desert.</p>
<p>With the over exploitation of the timber and the minerals, I don&#8217;t think the Jungles like in Amazon or</p>
<p>in Africa are still there.   The rain fall to the tree-less land only makes flush flood, while wash off the top soil</p>
<p>= make the land to yet another desert.</p>
<p><strong>Where can agriculture taking place. Where the food come from, let alone the water.</strong></p>
<p>To built those fancy future cities, raw material might be mined and manufactured to the structural steels,</p>
<p>glasses or fancy new material though, somebody who run the industry got to be a man</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>= where his lunch come from ?    Algae grown in the huge tanks ?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">[]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Those images may looks impressive though, they are the pure fantasies which has no </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>solid ground of reality. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Even now, we human being already pushed the capability, sustainability of the earth too far, </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>I wouldn&#8217;t imagine we are going to have a landscape anything resembling like those images.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>I do much prefer to live rather fossilized archaic simple life. (So, I don&#8217;t have Smart-phone, </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>let alone Tablet kind, not mention even a Credit card.   No Net-porno because I can&#8217;t pay 😀 )</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Simple, hence not a complication of the dairy life, therefore peace of mind 😀</strong></span></p>
